Pasta Carbonara

Bacon and eggs for dinner? In spaghetti? Yuuuupppp!!!! It's a pretty classic and delicious meal, and it's very easy to make! My apologies for the lack of instruction pictures.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb of spaghetti
3-4 slices of bacon
1 egg (beaten with 2 Tbsp milk)
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 large shallot or very small onion, minced
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Start a pot of boiling water and cook pasta.  While it's cooking, place the bacon in a large skillet and cook until barely crispy. Set the bacon aside on a paper towel to drain. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Saute the garlic and shallot (or onion) in the bacon grease for just a few minutes, until the shallots are soft. 

By this time, the pasta should be done boiling, and you can strain it, but make sure to leave a small amount of the pasta water in the pot.

Add peas and chopped bacon into the skillet and cook until bacon is crispy.  Add cooked pasta and remaining pasta water to the skillet and stir with a spoon or use tongs to incorporate the pasta.  Lastly, keep stirring as you slowly add in the beaten egg (trying not to let it scramble), add the Parmesan cheese. Mix well, and serve!
